Bella's First Christmas!

Bella had a wonderful first Christmas(and four month birthday)! We all woke up and said goodbye to Chris. He had been visiting for a few days. Bella had a great time with him--and so did we! Thanks for coming down to visit us!
Then, it was time to open presents. We opened our stockings first. Unfortunately, Santa left Capo a pile of coal in his stocking. I guess he'll have to try to get off of the naughty list next year. Bella got a lot of great presents! She didn't want to take off her new hat from G-ma. She thinks she's the house jester. She also loved playing on her new monkey blankie that the Blumes sent her. She was enchanted by the lights on the tree when we laid her under it. What a cutie!
After presents (which we managed to stretch out through most of the afternoon), it was time for a bath and then a story. She got to listen to her Aunt Dawnie reading Humphrey's First Christmas to her. That was very special. Aunt Dawnie, Uncle Scott, Trevor, Greyson, and Brodrick sent us a big box of wonderful things, but the most wonderful gift was a CD of their family signing songs and reading stories for Bella. She absolutely loves listening to it.
Then, Gramma came home, and it was time for more presents.
Bella had a wonderful Christmas! Thanks to everyone who thought of us today, and made it so special. Merry Christmas!!!
